Abstract in brief

  • The study evaluates the use of a new small-caliber endoscope (thinPOEM) for performing peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) in achalasia patients and finds it to be a feasible, safe, and effective technique with promising short-term results.
  • The procedure was performed on 45 patients with a median duration of 54 minutes, showing significant clinical improvements in symptoms (Eckardt score) and esophageal pressure parameters, though some patients experienced reflux post-procedure.
  • Overall, thinPOEM demonstrated good short-term outcomes, with manageable reflux issues and effective symptom relief, indicating it may be a viable minimally invasive option for treating achalasia.
